===
put up your lacy collar (one without name)
and come to me stronger
than mountain crosswinds
bury yourself in me
with forgotten metaphors
hold up your arms (girl immersed in song)
and i break them down
with discerning glances
faces you never seen
and i'll ascend you like sparrows
i caught and threw back into
yellow auras of the sun
raise your head (become root and tree)
and pray for what mountains know
remember our flowing blood
in circles and weaves
but always
lower your eyes (opaque lover)
and feel this all disappear
lower them (don't look at me)
view my hands
broken open and constructed out of peace
tremble yourself
in hesitant gentleness
and i'll be before you
knelt and melting
in a beautiful incomprehension
